Church setup
Getting started: create your church on PostSermon
Everything in PostSermon hangs off your church. This first step sets it up and drops you at the studios — membership, services, events, sermon content and more.

Step by step
- 1
Sign in or create your account
If your church already subscribes to Scripture Live, sign in with the same account and your monthly credits work here automatically. Otherwise create a free account — you only need credits to run the paid features.
- 2
Create your church
Give the church a name, pick its country and timezone. The country matters: Ghana churches send SMS and are phone-keyed, US churches are email-keyed. You can run more than one church (or branch) from the same account.
- 3
Set your church details
Add the details that brand your outgoing messages — your display name, email sender and reply-to. These become the defaults every studio uses, so you set them once.
- 4
Open the studios
From here you reach every workspace: Membership, Services & Programmes, Events, Sermon content, Website, Design and more. Turn on the “modes” you actually use and the rest stays out of the way.
Questions
Do I need a Scripture Live subscription?
No. You can use PostSermon on its own with a credit pack. A Scripture Live subscription simply grants you PostSermon credits every month automatically.
Can I manage more than one church or branch?
Yes. Add each church separately and switch between them from the church picker; members, events and messaging are kept per church.
